Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) (II)>(III)>(I)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Methoxy benzene(Structure I) being an ether hast the least boiling point as it can't show inter molecular hydrogen bonding. Among meta cresol (Structure II) and ortho cresol (Structure III), Meta cresol has greater boiling point than ortho cresol as its polarity is more due to…
